Question Regarding Impending IBM Thinkpad Ultra Portable Purchase *need opinions*

[FearoftheNight]

I am considering an IBM thinkpad X31. Do you think the keyboard is too small to do wordprocessing on? I am a student and I would like to do work while out on campus and at the library. Also it coems with some accessories I don't really care for. Is there a market to sell the following items?
1 22P6991 ThinkPad CD-RW/DVD Combo IV Ultrabay 2000 Drive
1 46P7912 ThinkPad UltraBase X3 Media Slice Your price

They retail for 180 each. Opinions please.

the x31's keyboard is fine.

being in japan i have seen some INSANE small laptop's with stupid small keyboards, that have even more keys on them (for japanese language support)....

Some of our co workers are now getting X31's and I have used them (japanese keyboard) along with the bigger brother T40 laptop. The X31 will take maybe a day to get use to, if you use it as your everday machine...

dont sweat the keyboard unless you have fat fingers.
